BATAAN AND CORREGIDOR VETERANS

MEMORIAL HIGHWAY

House Bill 4570 as introduced

Sponsor:  Rep. Tim Sneller

Committee:  Transportation

Complete to 6-6-19

SUMMARY:

House Bill 4570 would amend the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to designate the portion of highway 1-69 between Center Road and Belsay Road in the city of Burton as the “Bataan and Corregidor Veterans Memorial Highway.”

Highway I-69 between the cities of Flint and Port Huron is currently designated the “Veterans Memorial Highway” under section 32 of the act. The bill would amend that section to designate the portion described above as the “Bataan and Corregidor Veterans Memorial Highway.”

MCL 250.1032

FISCAL IMPACT:

Section 2 of the Michigan Memorial Highway Act indicates that the state transportation department shall provide for the erection of suitable markers indicating the name of the highway only “when sufficient private contributions are received to completely cover the cost of erecting and maintaining those markers.” As a result, the bill has no state or local fiscal impact.
